Team iLuminate AGT Performances

This is Team Illuminate that have been competing in America's got Talent I guess. Either way the thing about this dancing team is that they use electronically controlled lights on their suites that are being operated by someone in the back while they dance with the lights off, its pretty cool stuff.

This video shows both their performances so far, and what I didn't notice is how the second performance picks up right where the first one ended. Anyways Enjoy.

What could of happened.

Hey all,

Well its friday night, 642 pm I've been laying here in bed for the last hour and half listening to some new cd's I've borrowed.

It's funny, the CD I'm listening to right now is Dashboard Confessional The places you have come to fear the most. Im about three songs in, and I'm blown away already, the acoustic melodies are just amazing. Chris Carrabba just has a wicked voice that makes you feel like you're the one singing. I realized this album came out in 2001 that makes me think "where the hell have I been?" haha.

In 2001 I was in Grade 7, I dont even want to think about the stuff I was listening to when I was 14 years old, obviously some of the bands that I grew up listening to personally such as The Offspring, Blink 182 will always have special place in me... But thinking that this was out at that time makes me think of everything else i've missed. But one thing I think I'm starting realize is that everything happens for a reason and I'm glad to be 24 years old (really not old at all) and to still be amazed by things so long past now. Its what i've listened to in the past that has truly helped me appreciate this CD, and I just wanna thank the person who gave me these CD's, It's amazing.

Anyways enough of me making a big deal about this CD haha, Im sure your all loving my opinion right now. But it does bring me to my next point, which I feel is that It's weird how certain things happen for a reason and at the right time even though it might not seem like it. And by things I mean everything, the good, the bad, and the stuff in the grey area that no one knows what to do with.

Maybe I wouldn't have appreciated that CD when i was 14, but i'm sorry i never had the chance to, but I do now, and thats the point. I feel as though we will take on many certain paths during our life, some will be riddled poor luck, loosing family or friends, poor upbringing, getting mixed up with the wrong people, no love, possessions, or maybe just loosing that perfect parking spot you've been eyeing up since you got in the parking lot. But then their is the other side some will be filled with good fortune, finding love, a good job, good grades, a good upbringing, great friends getting the last hot dog at a hot dog stand. Obviously there are degrees of good and bad luck respectively. But I'm becoming to believe Its The way we face these experiences, and confront them or embrace them, and not by avoiding them, that make us into the person we are today. And its the type of person we are that sometimes just comes into play so well in certain new situations.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is not to take anything life gives you for granted, take it, experience it and get as much as you can from it. Yea you might get hurt, but you could also be the happiest you've been in a long time. Either way life has a way of coming full circle, and years from now you can look back and appreciate, and not wonder "what could have happened".

Well thanks all for listening again, My next blog will probably be a dream blog as I have been having some really awesome and strange dreams lately which are begging to be heard, by the countless readers I have =D. Take care.

George Carlson Update:

Im happy to say that the black ooze is gone from my room. What I'm not happy to say is that I have no idea where it went. I decided to reorganize my room a while back and realized that it had just disappeared. Whether it gave up and is now looking a few victim, or ate itself in disparity, it is now a mystery. And only time will tell... only... time... will... tell. (sorry a little over dramatic I know but you weren't there. Shut up.)

But the good news is that Communication with George Carlson has now reopened and Im anxiously awaiting his next letter update.

You're never alone.

Well, once again its been much to long since I've found the time to write on here.

Sorry... Not to my surprise the very first sentence I find myself writing is a total lie... I've had plenty of time to write on here, the truth is I just haven't wanted to. I don't know why, maybe its because I haven't had anything exciting to write about? No, not thats not it. Plenty has happened since I've recovered from the first part of my knee rehabilitation. Is it because I can't find anything to vent about? Believe me, by the time you're done reading this you'll find that to be a ridiculous question to ask.

I feel as though I've come back because something of significance in my life has occurred, a lot actually. It's new, wonderful and so scary, all at the same time.

Let me just start by saying that I have great friends, that's no understatement. I have the pleasure of living in a house with 5 other people, two of which have been here since the beginning with me, almost four years now. I've seen 5 others come and go and there has never been a moment with either of those people where I haven't felt grateful to have spent that time with them. Outside of my house I have met plenty of amazing people through them, and through them come to appreciate meeting everyone I have. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm still and always will be a man of few words.

Out of everyone who I've met and of those who has taken the time to get to know me, I hope they understand that they can confide in me. Know that I will try and help them out how ever I can. Yes I do get a little awkward around people who are crying and who are hurt, but its only because in my head Im only struggling to find those perfect words for them, true and simple words. I find a comfort in simply sitting their and listening to what they have to say. Whether its someone who is talking about a guilty pleasure such as a TV show they love to watch, or someone who has had a bad week and just wants to cuss and yell to get everything out. I've always believed people deserve to be listened too.

Of all the people I've met, I only know a handful of them who would willfully sit their and listen to what I have to say, I hope they know who they are and understand that I know If ever I receive no reply from them, I know it's not because they have nothing to say, its because they have everything to say, but just can't find those right words. In a way while I write this, for all of you to see and read, I know plenty of you could really care less, many of you might laugh or sigh and skip to the next page. But some of you might feel the same I do, or just simply understand what I'm trying to get at. Knowing that you are out their makes me feel so much better, because you are asking yourself when is the last time you have truly felt as though your are being listened to, not heard but listened to. That feeling of undivided attention when you truly need it. And maybe while reading this you find some comfort of your own.

I don't want to sound as though I'm an attention seeking maniac, which I feel as thought this might be how I'm coming across. (I really am not :) ) I just want people to understand that if and when the time comes that you need someone to listen to, will I find you? Will you find me? Or someone? Anyone? How many of us can keep listening to the same CD, watch the same movie or read the same book over and over for comfort before we just break down? I may not understand what you are going through, or you me, but at the end of the day to be listened to is what we all want. I hope you all know you aren't alone, ever.



Okay okay, not my normal type of blog, I understand that, but sometimes a person just needs to get things out, and let them be known. I hope you can all understand that, and Hopefully my other blogs will be a little on the lighter side. Ha! we'll see.
